We feel so lucky to have found them to take care of our girl!”

“I am so thankful to have found Byamba on Rover! At the last minute, the dog sitter we had lined up for nine days didn’t work out. I reached out to Byamba to see if he could care for my Aussie shepherd and my sister-in-law’s dog, and within moments I received a response that he’d be delighted to take care of them. My husband and I do not like being away from our Aussie, and Byamba went above and beyond to send daily photos and updates which gave us peace of mind that we had chosen the right care-giver. It was a great comfort knowing that both pooches were with a kind, loving family. We will definitely reach out to Byamba the next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Byamba and family!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunn Loring
We were honestly a little nervous about leaving our sweet Miso with someone new because she is a very sensitive dachshund and usually takes quite a bit of time to feel comfortable around new people. But from the moment we met Chenqin, we knew she was in good hands. Chenqin and her husband were absolutely wonderful. They were incredibly communicative throughout our entire time away and sent us so many fun updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. What really amazed us was how quickly Miso warmed up to them! Our little girl usually takes a while before she feels comfortable enough to snuggle with someone new, but almost immediately we were getting photos of her happily sleeping on Chenqin’s lap and even curled up on her husband’s belly. We are so incredibly grateful for all the love, patience, attention, and care they gave to our little Miso. It was clear that she was not just being watched she was genuinely loved and treated like family. We highly, highly recommend Chenqin and her husband to anyone looking for loving, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitters. We will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!!
Zosha was amazing! This was our first time ever leaving Cola overnight with someone who wasn’t family, so we were definitely a little anxious and worried. Zosha made us feel so much more comfortable by sending updates and pictures throughout the day, which really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Cola was in good hands. We really appreciated how attentive and communicative he was. We would absolutely ask Zosha to watch Cola again and would highly recommend him to our friends and family!
Charlie had a wonderful stay with Prisila. She and her family were very attentive to Charlie's needs, especially since he is a senior dog and had some issues where she needed to make sure he didn't injure his back. Charlie was happy during the entire stay and came home very content. I look forward to continuing to leave Charlie with Prisila and would recommend her to other dog owners of senior dogs!
Scooby loves staying with Ron and hanging out with Loki and the other dogs. Ron has taken great care of him many times, takes the dogs on several walks every day, and sends pictures of the dogs enjoying being outside. We trust Ron with our senior dog and will continue to recommend him to others!
Sush was fantastic! She had us over for a meet & greet the weekend before our booking. She was interested in all of the details of care for our senior dog and was willing to do the extra things to make her comfortable. And also her home has a large backyard! Maggie was very happy with her stay and I appreciated Sush!
Monica watched my large, older, anxious dog for a week and was absolutely lovely. Handoff and pickup were super easy, and I got regular updates. In every photo sent, my dog was snuggled up on the couch and totally content. When I picked her up, my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Would definitely book with her again!
Jorge & Alejandra, were fantastic with our dog, Hazelnut, while we were away! They sent daily photo updates and followed our exact feeding and walking routine. When we came home, Hazel was happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We will definitely book Jorge & Alejandra, again!"
Shirley was absolutely wonderful with my pug, Daisy! I reached out pretty last minute, and she was incredibly quick to respond and so accommodating, which immediately took a huge weight off my shoulders. Throughout the weekend, Shirley sent lots of pictures and videos of Daisy, and I loved getting to see how she was doing and how comfortable and happy she looked. She kept me updated without me ever having to ask, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my weekend knowing Daisy was in great hands. You can tell Shirley genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and just overall such a pleasure to work with. Daisy came home happy and well cared for, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Shirley with Daisy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐾💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dunn Loring on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,434 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dunn Loring. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Dunn Loring sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dunn Loring landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dunn Loring home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dunn Loring.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dunn Loring sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
